We had a wonderful time at The House of Joy. We were overjoyed with the accommodations, the view, and all the comforts of home! They have everything you might need to feed your family or large group, from 2 regular coffee makers to a large percolater, crock pot, chafing dish, large pots, mixing bowls, serving bowls, utensils...... We pack most of those things for family trips but it is not necessary they have everything you might need including plenty of linens. The space is spacious and well appointed. The view from the porch is breath taking. The trails provided a nice diversion and allowed us to explore the mountain. The kids loved the rock slide and fire pit. Thanks so much for helping us celebrate my mother's birthday!
